  • “I DREAM of JEANNIE” STAR RETURNS to SPACE COAST Barbara Eden to Perform at 50Th Anniversary of Iconic TV Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “I DREAM OF JEANNIE” STAR RETURNS TO SPACE COAST Barbara Eden to Perform at 50th Anniversary of Iconic TV Series COCOA BEACH, FL – September 3, 2015. Barbara Eden, the star of the 1960s sitcom, “I Dream of Jeannie,” returns to Florida’s Space Coast on Sunday, October 25 for the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the iconic show set in Cocoa Beach, FL. “On the Magic Carpet with Barbara Eden” will feature Ms. Eden and “Entertainment Tonight” and Showtime movie reporter Bill Harris on stage at the Scott Center Auditorium on the campus of Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne. The performance will take guests back into Jeannie’s Magic Bottle in a fun-filled evening of storytelling and the screening of rare and never before seen film clips featuring Barbara Eden and such stars as Elvis Presley, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, and her “I Dream of Jeannie” co-star Larry Hagman. The show will also include a lively Q & A session between Ms. Eden and the audience, in addition to a limited Meet & Greet reception following the performance. “The people of Cocoa Beach have always been so gracious and welcoming to me,” said Eden. “Even though we never actually filmed the show there, we have spent a lot of time on the Space Coast. It seems like a second home to me, and I am very excited to go back there and see so many familiar and friendly faces.” The show and Ms. Eden’s appearance are largely made possible due in part to the support of SCB Marketing and the Brevard County Tourism Development Council's Special Event Marketing Grant Program and the Space Coast Office of Tourism.

  • Protest and Resistance in the Crime Writing of Anne Perry Abstract
    4 Protest and resistance in the crime writing of Anne Perry JOANNE DRAYTON Abstract Anne Perry writes to re-write herself, to protest women’s condition, and to explore and re-imagine her own. This paper will examine how the essentialising label of evil became the established reading of Anne Perry (Juliet Hulme) and Pauline Parker and their crime, and how as a result of this vilification, protest and resistance became key provocations for Perry’s adult writing. It will show how Perry uses her fiction to protest women’s position generally, and as a means of resisting the label of evil and re-writing self. It will examine her crime detective fic- tion writing following the development of both her Pitt and Monk series, and will explore themes in her work of forgiveness and redemption through compassion and positive endeavour. It will show how Perry’s books have helped create a different ending. They are a form of redemption in themselves: a re-configuring for Perry of the construction of evil to that of writer and published author. Key words: crime fiction, biography, murder, lesbianism, adolescence, evil, redemption Introduction On 22 June 1954, Honorah Parker was bludgeoned to death in Victoria Park, Christchurch, by her teenage daughter, Pauline Parker, and Pauline’s school friend, Juliet Hulme. In the days after the Parker-Hulme murder, newspapers across New Zealand were ablaze with the story. Overnight Pauline Parker was arrested and 14 exercise books, including her diaries, were con- fiscated. The next day Juliet Hulme would also be charged with murder.
